RICHMOND, Va. – The Verizon Wireless Arena at the Stuart
C. Siegel Center has become one of the most visited buildings in
all of Richmond. From sold out basketball games to jammed packed
concerts to campaign stops by politicians, everyone wants to come
to 1200 W. Broad Street.

One of the events that helped make the Siegel Center one of the
most happening places in Richmond is back as VCU Athletics is proud
to host the third annual Markel/VCU Athletics Black & Gold
Ball, presented by D&H Construction. The can’t miss event
is set for Friday, Oct. 12, beginning around 8 p.m..

With nearly 750 attendees last year, the Black & Gold Ball
has quickly become a huge success and is becoming a signature event
in the city of Richmond. It is a critical fundraiser for the Ram
Athletic Fund, which helps support the near 300 student-athletes of
the VCU Athletic Department.

The black-tie optional event features a casino, dance floor,
heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cigar lounge. Test your luck at
the black jack tables, texas hold ‘em, roulette or the craps
table. Raffle prizes will be drawn throughout the evening for a
variety of prizes.

Whether you’re dancing, placing bets or retreating to the
cigar lounge for a glass of scotch, you’ll be sure to enjoy
the fun-filled evening!
